Special guests include Grammy Award-winning vocalist Shawn Colvin and guitarist Adrian Legg. The sixteen songs on 'Bloom' are carefully sequenced into three different sections, grouped together in terms of vibe and style. The prelude section features 'Bloom', 'Summer Jam', the Bob Dylan cover 'My Back Pages', 'Good to Me', 'Columbia', and '12 to 12 Vibe'. The courante section features 'Sea Secret', 'Sad Legacy', 'From My Heart', 'Cruise the Nile', 'Tribute to Jerry Reed', 'Your Sweet Eyes', and 'Hesitant'. The allemande section rounds out the CD with 'Sunnaround You', 'Magnetized', and 'Ciel'. Favored Nations. 2005. .com Texas guitar prodigy Eric Johnson returns to recording after a near-decade absence with a lush, typically restrained collection that eschews flash for fluid cool. Arranging the album's 16 songs into a musical triptych whose sections are labeled "Prelude," "Courante" and "Allemande," Johnson aims at creating a landscape of shifting moods that's as subtle as it is mature. The guitarist's trademark lyrical style is immediately showcased on the title track, "Summer Jam" and the stately fallen astronaut tribute, "Columbia." The first section is also energized by the funked-up "Good to Me," before Johnson turns to fare that's variously more impressionistic (the instrumental "Sea Secret"), conscience-driven (the pop-savvy ballad "Sad Legacy") and smooth-groove, r&b sultry ("From My Heart"). The infectious finger-pickin' "Tribute to Jerry Reed" segues into a final act that includes the romance of "Your Sweet Eyes" (with guest Shawn Colvin adding her distinctive harmonies), "Hesistant"'s tasteful Wes Montgomery-isms and the 70's charged, acid-jazz of "Magnetized." His fusion-lite cover of Dylan's "My Back Pages" and saccharine "Sunnaround You" withstanding, it's another fine tribute to Johnson's tasteful, often introspective muse. -- Jerry McCulley ## Images ![Bloom - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51JZOTDEDiL.jpg) ![Bloom - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51JdreZac-L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Eric Johnson's Sleeper Album *by P***E on June 3, 2016* This is a fantastic album all-around. Johnson demonstrates his rock guitar prowess on some of the earlier tracks and then explores many styles (ambient, jazzy, even Middle Eastern) on later tracks. It's rich with mood and atmosphere and yet still has plenty of punch; listen to the first five songs and you'll know exactly what I mean. And yet, the meditative mode of later songs gives the mind and heart much to chew on, and has left me with good memories. It's one of my favorites of his.The strange thing is that this album doesn't seem to pop up on lists of great Eric Johnson albums, thus my title here. I think many listeners will be pleasantly surprised. This showcases not just a great guitarist but a great artist at work; plenty of rock and plenty of moods to go around. And yeah, the guy can play :) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another great CD from a brilliant guitarist *by B***H on October 24, 2006* This is an impressive effort. This CD has been played fairly constantly in my car for the past 3 weeks. What impresses me is that I consistently find new bits that stand out depending on my mood. There are some great grooves, brilliant fills, and rocking riffs in classic Eric Johnson style in the first movement, 'Prelude'. The opener 'Bloom' and 'Good To Me' are probably the highlights there. Mr. Johnson then turns it down a bit during 'Courante', the second movement.'Sad Legacy' and 'From My Heart' are both great introspective songs. 'Sad Legacy' builds a sense of urgency and 'From My Heart' has a mellower, R&B feel and nice jazzy runs. These two are probably my favorites off the album.The last movement, 'Allemande' starts off with a nice old-school style jazzy number, 'Hesistant'. 'Magnetized' gets things rocking again, before a very good atmospheric classical guitar piece, 'Ciel' ends the ride.Eric plays an wide variety of styles on this release and manages to keep it all together as one cohesive piece, with one small exception. Tribute to Jerry Reed, while a nice bit of picking doesn't fit on this CD for me, especially after the sitar on 'Cruise The Nile'.I'd recommend this CD to anyone who enjoyed Ah Via Musicom or Venus Isle. Or, if you aren't familiar with Eric johnson already, then do yourself a favor and pick up a CD. This one is as good as any of his studio albums to start off with. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Scatterd Virtuosity *by V***H on May 18, 2006* EJ remains, in my opinion, one of the two guitarists by whom others should be measured (Steve Morse being the other). This is owing to his sheer technical ability (which many guitarists like Steve Vai, Joe Satriani and others possess) coupled with a feel, tone and general musicality which most of the other virtuosos lack. As always, his playing on this CD is incredible. The CD is recorded well and sounds great. If there is one knock, however, it is that EJ is a master of so many styles of guitar playing, that at times the CD feels disjointed (probably why he breaks it down into three segments). He begins with a very EJ-like boogie, then rolls into the more Satriani-esque, followed shortly by what I think is a great, uptempo cover of Dylan's My Back Pages. But later, EJ hits us with some Grand Ole Opry-like country, neoclassical, and even Pat Metheny-like jazz. Don't get me wrong, EJ gets it right and then some every step of the way, it is just that when listed to from start to finish, as a whole, the CD does not flow as well as say Venus Isle. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/7344546-bloom](https://www.desertcart.in/products/7344546-bloom) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
